JAMMU: State Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday asked the students from Jammu and Kashmir studying in educational institutions outside the State to show respect and regards to the laws to enhance the image of State in the eyes of nation.
“The students of J&K studying outside the State belonging to any religion or region are ambassadors of State and they should conduct themselves in manner befitting the persons belonging to State with rich heritage and dedication to nationalism,” BJP State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi said.
He noted that lawlessness or anti-national conduct shown by even single student from the State brings disrepute to not only student community of the State but State as a whole and such conduct on part of any person is condemnable and deplorable and can’t be tolerated in any situation. Sethi, through an official handout, said that patriotism and nationalism are not favour being shown to nation or fellow countrymen but is pious duty towards motherland and has to be honoured and displayed without fail by all.
“Students of State should be proud of being citizens of the great country with extreme tolerance across vast canvass of religious, lingual, cultural, regional dissimilarities,” he said adding that students from State have to set example of disciplined community by following laws and rules of the place where they are getting education and to mix up with their brothers and sisters of the other regions of country to create atmosphere of brotherhood and friendship to be praised and emulated by all. BJP Chief Spokesperson further criticised the political parties, who are trying to do politics on the issue and trying to take political mileage at the cost of national interest, which is extremely unfortunate and disturbing. “Instead of creating fear and confusion in students of State studying out they should guide students properly to weed out elements which are indulging in lawlessness and anti nationalism for the interest of students and the State,” he said.
